The only bad thing I can say about this book is that I wanted more of it. I love Jude and her family so much. The writing was gorgeous. And the audio was so immersive.

I cried multiple times reading this.

When Jude put on her hijab for the first time my heart sang for her.

the awful attack on her friend Layla's family's store.

and

the birth of her sister/seeing her brother again even through a screen.

The author's note was beautiful and powerful and brought tears to my eyes as well. I am so happy I read this.

This book is very emotional. It does a good job of showing Jude's want to be Syrian and American. But does not downplay either.
